The most notable building in Buncton is its church. This 11th or 12th century structure is composed mainly of flint and rubble masonry with some fragments of tile salvaged from the earlier Roman building that existed nearby.[1] The church was built by the monks of neighbouring Sele Priory, and parts of the stonework show evidence of having been previously used at Sele.
